Properties in term of dynamic spectrum adjustment make OFDM a promising technology for Cognitive Radio systems. An OFDM modulation suffers from high power peaks, which significantly degrade the power efficiency and the linearity of the transmitter. In this paper, the Tone Reservation method is used to reduce the Peak-To-Average Power-Ratio (PAPR) in OFDM systems. We intend to consider an adaptive algorithm to improve speed convergence and PAPR reduction gain, taking into account the complexity of the algorithm. The proposed approach is based on the Conjugate-gradient method which is a powerful gradient descent algorithm, reliable and efficient on a wide range of optimization problems. The radio-frequency Power Amplifier (PA) being the most sensitive element to envelope fluctuations, a class AB 2.4 GHz-2 W InGaP PA is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method in terms of Bit Error Rate and Error Vector Magnitude.","PeriodicalId":417940,"journal":{"name":"2013 8th International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications (WoSSPA)","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126144783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this reason, we propose to select the most significant sample among a large number of training samples by using multiblock general regression neural network (MBGRNN). This paper presents experimental results on six different real wind speed measurement stations in Algeria namely, Alger, Djelfa, Bechar, Oran, Sétif and In Aménas.

Because of high equipage of Mode S transponders, it has become one of the cornerstones of today's air surveillance used for air traffic control purposes. Because of complex environments, such as airports with high number of reflecting surfaces and Mode S capable transponders, state-of-the-art algorithms must be used to overcome problems and to achieve maximum benefit from using enhanced surveillance systems.

Simulation results show that single carrier modes in most cases outperforms OFDM modes in LOS and NLOS scenarios. QAM based modulation schemes are sensitive to marginal channel conditions and provide poor performance in NLOS case, while BPSK and QPSK modulation schemes with low density parity coding are relatively more robust, and present a good choice at the cost of data rate reduction.","PeriodicalId":417940,"journal":{"name":"2013 8th International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications (WoSSPA)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116800451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two different optical filters (Fabry-Perot filter (FP) or Fiber Bragg Grating filter (FBG)) and both return-to-zero (RZ) and non-return-to-zero (NRZ) codings were assumed to find out whether these different configurations showed better performances. By means of numerical simulations, we optimize the bandwidths of the optical and electrical receiver's filters. Then, the impact of the IPE on the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance is analyzed when the received signal is filtered by two types of optical filter. The optical power penalties caused by the IPE impact at BER of 10-9 in the presence of CD are evaluated. Simulation results show that, without CD the system suffer a significant amount of power penalties due to the IPE, and the optical filter has an influence on the power penalties, i.e. the system with FBG filter has the better performances than the one with FP filter, while NRZ-DPSK modulation format exhibit almost the same power penalty that RZ-DPSK. However, it is found that with CD, the system which uses FP filter performs better than the one which uses FBG filter, i.e. owing to the presence of CD, the better performances switch from FBG filter to FP filter, whereas RZ-DPSK modulation format is more robust to IPE than NRZ-DPSK while FP optical filter is employed. This provides the basis for a tradeoff between FP & FBG Filters and NRZ-DPSK & RZ-DPSK modulations format through a careful selection of a suitable optical filter and an appropriate modulation format.","PeriodicalId":417940,"journal":{"name":"2013 8th International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications (WoSSPA)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127134836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the beginning, the image is divided into two sub-images. Next, these two sub-images are encrypted using respectively stream and block cipher schemes.
